Semi-Oceanfront Beach Cottage I. Access across street to shops and restaurants

As I sat on the deck of the cottage on my final morning, engulfed in the tranquil calm and the incalculable peace of the place and the neighborhood, I waited until the last possible minute to leave because quite frankly, I did not want to. Although it technically is not ocean front, it may as well be. The walkway to the beach is a stones throw. Like sunrise walks on the beach --- this is the perfect spot. Take a night-time stroll, or even make a bonfire on the beach --- this is the spot. You can set up your tent, leave it and come and go as you please. It's as if you have your own private beach. You can hear the tide clear as a bell, in the quiet of the neighborhood. You are within walking distance to the highest rated restaurants in Avon. The place itself is small, just enough for a small family, but the deck is bigger than most decks, with plenty of room for kids and guests. There is also a sizable side yard where children and pets may play --- and a very sizable underneath for get-togethers. The cottage has that lived-in feel, capturing the essence of beach life, unlike an anti-septic agency sort of feel, you feel the homeliness as soon as you walk in. The host leaves good ol' beach novels and a closet full of games. The sound and the national seashore are a 5 minute drive away. If you are the kind of person who needs a all manner of luxury, this is not your spot. If you love the beach, this is the place. This is one of VRBO's best places I have stayed.

My husband and I rented for 3 nights, a pre summer getaway. Perfect weather, tis little 2 bedroom was perfect for us. Wrll-equipped kitchen, new flat screen with lots of streaming, plush towels, firm mattress, all very clean. And, great taste in decor.

This house is in a great location but it is poorly maintained. The roof leaked, we were locked out of the only bathroom and it was not cleaned properly so we did some of it ourselves. It was not ready at check in time but this was not a problem for us as we arrived late. This could be a good house if it was better maintained.

It was clean and everything was as advertised. The property owner checked in with us to ensure all was well. It was close to the beach. What else could you need?

Had a great time at this location. Owner was very nice and accommodating

Chase is easy to work with and the house is simple, clean…and close to beach.

Very responsive host, easy check in. The cabin has a new deck, new chairs which was great. The two bedrooms and one full bathroom were clean and well stocked. Outside shower as needed. The location is awesome with a quick walk to a wide beach through the dunes. Walk to Avon Pier. Within walking distance to several restaurants and shops. Easy to get to other locations on Hatteras.

Overall we had a good stay. We felt like the rental for this was a little overpriced considering that there is some work that needs to be done. The access to the beach was awesome! The location for the cottage is quiet. Usually we don’t pay for a beach house so this could just be accurate pricing for that area of the OBX. Chase was very nice and accommodating!

We enjoyed our stay and received great communication with the host! We’ll be back!!

The property is small and efficient. Very comfortable. Great decks. Easy walk to the beach.
